Some properties of analytic difference fields

Logic 2015-08-19 v3

Abstract

We prove field quantifier elimination for valued fields endowed with both an analytic structure and an automorphism that are σ\sigma-Henselian. From this result we can deduce various Ax-Kochen-Ersov type results with respect to completeness and the NIP property. The main example we are interested in is the field of Witt vectors on the algebraic closure of Fp\mathbb{F}_{p} endowed with its natural analytic structure and the lifting of the Frobenius. It turns out we can give a (reasonable) axiomatization of its first order theory and that this theory is NIP.

The theorem now hold for all valued field automorphisms and not just isometries. This is the final version. 56 pages
